About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making connections between Basic Income Guarantee, emancipatory education, the 21 hour week, circular economy, local management of natural resources, peer to peer solutions including the blockchain, learning organizations, smart cities, non-violent communication, community participation, dynamic systems and stricter regulation of finance and corporations to come up with ways of achieving international peace and security while reducing global inequalities and injustices.

ABOUT ME

I am a curious person. I love learning almost anything there is to learn. I love traveling and meeting new people from different cultures. I am very out and easy going. I like smiling and being happy. I enjoy partying, discussing, chilling, being out in nature, trying out new things, you name it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been hosted in Salamanca and Granada in Spain, and also in Rumania and Turkey. I've always had very positive experience so far.

I have also hosted plenty of people when I had an apartment where I could do it.

That's the philosophy: give you when you have and receive when you don't!

Interests

I like having profound conversations about philosophy, politics and social movements. I love playing chess and pool. I like hiking and being outdoors in nature. I like cooking and sharing a meal with a glass of wine.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love world music: African, latino, Asian.. anything! Put a base on it and it'll be fantastic. If the music is groovy then I'm completely down. Jazz, techno, cumbia, swing... pretty much anything I love!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've founded a student organization that raises awareness among university students on global inequalities and alternatives to the current economic system. At least 2.235 have been impacted by Attac UC3M after running over 23 events for over 6 years.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love communication in all its aspects: mediation, non-violent communication, negotiation, public speaking... I can share some tips about that.

I have worked in consulting for a year and a half and can share insights on how to run an organization in an efficient way, identifying processes, risks and controls.

I have specialised in the topic of Basic Income Guarantee as a game-changer social policy. I can share some ideas about that :)

Although I don't practice as much anymore I played chess and piano and did karate for a lot of years.
